O'Neal, "The Biggest Loser"s resident quote machine

Thursday

I thought of a way to make each episode of "The Biggest Loser" even more fun: Listen for O'Neal-isms.

He's only been around for about half of Season 9, but the Yellow (now Blue) team's paterfamilias is shaping up to be one of the most quotable contestants in show history.

Sometimes it sounds like he plotted out a bunch of flowery, melodramatic quips before he got to the ranch and now is just going down the list, busting them out.

But that's a good thing.

So I say we document our favorite O'Neal soundbytes and combine them at the end of the season into "The Book of O." We don't have to stop when/if he gets eliminated, because you know he's going to have more to say at the finale, or when/if Sunshine has to go home.

To start us off, here are some of his best remarks from the past week: "They were all striking matches, but the fire was lit when I heard her voice." ["Her" is Sunshine, and he said it during the pull-a-truck challenge] and "I'm telling you, I'm telling you, my right hand up to God: It is achievable." [He said that to the worker at the food bank who was struggling with his weight.]

I'm sure there were more, but as luck would have it, the full episode video recap has not yet been posted online. If you have any more Week 8 O'Neal-isms, save them up and get ready to listen in next Tuesday night!
